Posts oscillating

High-speed video microscopy of the tips of the posts, illustrating their highly-synchronized motions. The raw microscope video is shown in the top plot with the starting and tracked positions of the posts overlaid on the video. The bottom left and right plots show how the posts’ X and Y positions, respectively, vary with time.

Video of polymer being stretched and released

The scientists used a CCD camera to directly visualize the changes in brightness as the polymer was stretched and released. The false color red represents high light intensity and the false color blue represents low light intensity.

Abnormalities in stamens

The stamens in mutant strains contain anthers – the part of the stamen that houses pollen – that are shorter and more curled than in wildtype strains.
